After opening the agenda, inspection of the buffer-local variable
major-mode (e.g. by C-h v) reveals that the major mode in the agenda
buffer is org-agenda-mode. A search for a variable containing
"org-agenda", and "map" reveals that most probably org-agenda-mode-map
is the keymap used there. It follows the usual naming scheme for major
mode maps.

After (require 'org-agenda) it will be possible to (define-key
org-agenda-mode-map KEY BINDING) in an init file.

Best wishes
